Positives The reviewer, despite holding critical views of the author, found this first volume of memoirs to be highly enjoyable. The book is described as entertaining and at times fascinating, offering truly interesting facts and details about 20th-century history, particularly concerning Catalan and Spanish politics. It is recommended for its engaging chronicle of the period.
Negatives However, the reviewer notes that the account is inherently partial and incomplete. Furthermore, when read with the benefit of hindsight, the narrative is perceived through the lens of later public revelations, which casts a certain shadow over the events described within the book.
Conclusion Despite these limitations, the book comes highly recommended. It is particularly suited for readers with an interest in the history of the 20th century, especially those keen on understanding the intricacies of Catalan and Spanish political landscapes during that era.
